Customizing Project Reports for 2007

[Susan]

I need to establish a weekly report for employees which shows
1 - Employee name
2 - Current project they are working on (description, start/end date, %
complete and notes)
3 - Project they will be working on for the week
4 - Project they will be working on for the upcoming weeks
5 - If they have any time off.

I see that a number of the reports has this information but how does one
edit/customize into what I need above. Any assistance that can be provided
would greatly be appreciated.

Hello Susan,

A couple of question which may help us help you:

I assume you wish to use the reports from the desktop version of MS
Project, not PWA.

Your requirements list "projects" the resource is working on -- do you
mean tasks in a project or are your resources working on multiple
projects? If so, do you only want to know the name of the project --
not the specific task in the other project? If your resources are
working on multiple projects, how have you created the assignments --
using a resource pool file or does each project contain the name of
the resource as a separate entry?

What reports in Project 2007 have you used that have gotten you close?
If you tell us which reports are close, we can better help you with
modifications to those reports. Otherwise, we may suggest reports
that you have rejected for whatever reason.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
